Why is it when you know you cannot have something that is when you want it the MOST? I am having my gestational diabetes test done in the morning and I cannot have anything after midnight. It is now 11:35 p.m. and I only have 25 more minutes to eat something if I so wish. However, I have already had supper and just had Diet chocolate cocoa, and a sugar free candy cane and I think that I am done trying to fit in all the food that I can until about 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.HA!!!
I pray that I will do o.k. I am pretty sure that I do not have gestational diabetes because of my low blood sugar. However, I know that I will need food by the time that I am done with the test. At least this is how I was with Tyler. Hungry and my low blood sugar was kicking in by the time that I was done. Lord willing all will go well.
This week is going to be VERY hectic. Doctor appointments to fit in, cleaning the motor home, packing it and Revival every night until we leave Thursday morning!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! So as you can imagine........prayers ARE appreciated this week!!!!
I am updating now because I do not know when I will do it next. Only time will tell. We are busy and we will not be settled in Florida with our Motor home until Monday of next week. So keep checking to see if I have updated you or not.
Thank you for your prayers and interest to our ministry. We enjoy being the Lords servants and hopefully being a blessing to you along the way!! God bless and have a wonderful week.

TAKE OUT!!!!!!!
If I am going to get the chance to eat Chinese food that is how I have to eat it. TAKE OUT!!! Mark is NOT a big fan of it at all. But, I LOVE it. The baby was craving it so he NEEDED it!!! Just trying to be a good mom right from the start!! HA! So while I was out just now I stopped and got me supper, mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!
I did the grocery shopping this morning and then came home. Some dear friends of ours lost there mother this past weekend and the Funeral is tomorrow. However, Tyler's doctors appointment is then and we are not going to be able to go. Mark is in Lansing working in the studio tonight so he could not go tonight or tomorrow either to visitation . So Tyler and I got dressed up and went to visit at the funeral home tonight. Tyler did not understand why we were getting dressed up and Mark was not going with us. He thought that we were going to church and Mark was not singing with us. I had to try and explain where we were going and what we were doing. He sort of got hold of the concept..... sort He did good.
We are now home and in our pj's!!! LOVE IT!!! Enjoyed my Chinese and now I am getting ready to do some work around the house. My kitchen floor is in NEED of a good moping, love the Michigan snow tracks!!
Lots of work to do here this week in the CD room. 400 CD'S this week again. Thanks for your prayers as we both have a lot to do and running out of time before we go. Thanks and God Bless.

AT WORK!!!
Mark is hard at work in the studio with a group as I type and I am at the other end of the basement doing CD'S!! Tyler is enjoying being 3 and is still in bed!!!!
We sing tonight and then again tomorrow. Kind of nice though we are right here in our home town for both of the concerts. This does not happen a lot but when it does we sure do enjoy being so close to home. Nice to be able to come home and have a Sunday family lunch!!
I am planning to fix grilled chicken tenders with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, rolls and hhhmmmm don't know for dessert yet??? We are looking forward to being home!
I have our clothes all ready for the weekend and ready to go. Just a matter of getting in the car and going!! It is nice when I have things done ahead. It takes work, but I LOVE being organized!! I go CRAZY when things are out of order and I do not plan as I should.
Perfect example of how my habits I assume have spread to our son Tyler. I had gotten a game out for him to play yesterday( Yahtzee, we made up our own though) and before we were done. He had taken all of the dice out lined them up to be all sixes, and laid the chips in 6 piles of 2, with the cup stacked nicely beside it!!! OH,MY!! I don't guess that this is a bad thing. This will be GREAT for his over all life and his future wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She can just thank me NOW!!! Who, knows maybe this means NO socks left on the floor????!!!!!
Keep us in your prayers this weekend. Hope that you all have a great week. Lots going on and things to do here. Doctors apt. work etc.....
God Bless,
Andrea

Sick and Tired!
That is the story here. I think that I have caught a tiny bit of what Tyler had with his cold. I have gone through about one whole box of tissues in about 24 hours including the time that I was sleeping!!! I have been so tired along with it, due to the pregnancy I am sure.
Somehow life still has gone on. I stuffed 200 Cd's today and 100 DVDs. I put inserts into another hundred to be completed tomorrow as well. I have alot of CD jobs left to do before we head out of here in a couple of weeks. Along with the packing to be gone for 2 months!!! But, I am headed towards sunshine so this should be a GREAT incentive!!
Say a prayer for me if you get a chance. I am running slow and LOTS to do!!!
Thank you for your support and I hope that you have a great weekend!
God Bless,

ONLY Beacause I have to!!!!
Today it is FREEZING outside and I do not want to go ANYWHERE!!! But, life still goes on and the responsibilities do too!! So Tyler and I are headed out to return movies to the Library, Post Office, 2 grocery stores and Walgreen's to pick up more medicine!!
This weekend went great! The Lord blessed as He always does and protected us all the way! It was strange not to have Tyler with us, but it was for the best. He is doing much better. Thank you for your prayers. He is still stopped up in his nose and head. But, the eyes are MUCH better and he says that his ears do not hurt him now!! PTL!!
I am going to eat a bite of lunch as is Tyler and we are headed out the door to do our THING!
Have a great week and may the Lord bless you to be a blessing to someone else!

Nesting already????
YES!!! That is what I have been trying to do today. I cleaned out Tyler's closet getting rid of some things and cleaning it all up for him. Next I moved into what is going to be Trevor's room and started to organize his room. This closet has previously housed Mark's suits, blankets, my small hope chest and scrap booking things. Well, it is time for these things to find a new home since Trevor is on the way!!
I took the suits and ties that Mark does not wear that often downstairs, the hope chest, and all the scrap booking things. In the exception of a few scrapbook things. I am hoping to put some things together on our trip in Florida while I will be dormant a few days here and there.
After that I went downstairs in our storage area and began to go through buckets and buckets of clothes for Trevor. I had labeled them according to the size when we moved to this house anyway so this was not to difficult. I hung the clothes up that needed to be hung and organized the onesies, socks, shoes, sleepers to be ready to put in the drawer organizers that I have to get yet. I then organized Trevor's basket of shampoos, soaps, ointments etc.
We are putting the bed and changing table and all the decorations together in the next week or two. Definitely before we go so that when we get home I do not have to worry about this. Seeing that I will only be a month away from my due date when we get home!!!
Tyler was taking a nap and woke up to me in the living room going through buckets of clothes and shoes. He asked me what I was doing and I told him that I was getting clothes ready for Trevor. He just said, " Oh, yeah, I think that these are to small for me!" I then told him that he used to wear all of those things and he said, "No way, their to small!" He was not quite getting the concept that he USED to wear them.
Hope that you all have a great weekend. It should be an interesting one for us. Tyler is quite ill. Ear infections in both ears, sore throat, coughing, and pink eye in BOTH eyes. Needless to say the reason I say interesting for us is that we are not taking him with us, as you can imagine. Mark's mom is going to watch him for us. since he was born he has only not gone with us ONE time!!!! This will be weird. Especially knowing that he does not feel good. PRAY for him if you get a chance. He is a real trooper.
Thanks for your prayers,
Andrea

OUCH!!!!!!!!
That is what I was feeling this afternoon and feeling right now!!! We were packing up today and getting ready to load the car. It had been raining during church and the temp today in Michigan was exactly 32 degrees......FREEZING!!! So are you getting a picture of what I am about to tell you??? I thought that I would take my time and go get the car and pull it up for Mark so that he could load the trailer. I made it all the way to the car, opened the door and DOWN I went!! I caught all of my weight on my right hip, arm, and hand. This felt great....NOT!!! I got up as quickly as I could and pulled the car up. After that Mark loaded all the equipment while I waited inside. I am a little sore in my arm and lower leg right now. I think that the baby is o.k. I started having a little bit of stomach pain later on, but that subsided. Could have been just the tension of falling.
We sing 2 more times this week and then again on Sunday. We are staying busy as usual here doing office work and the normal everyday busy life schedule.
We have 2 doctor visits this week in between everything else. Tyler has his first dentist appointment tomorrow. I am REALLY looking forward to this! HA! I am not even telling him where we are going until we are in the office. On Tuesday he has the go to Detroit Children's for his yearly check-up. We have the ultrasound and then 2 weeks from now we go for a doctor's appointment. Always something.
My doctors appointment on Friday for baby Trevor went good. He is now almost 1 pound and the kidneys look GOOD!!!! Praise the Lord!!! I pray and I hope that you will too that this will continue to be a good pregnancy and that all will be well with baby Trevor. I am starting to feel him move and kick me ever once and a while. As a matter of fact he must know that I am telling you about him. He just KICKED me!!! Already starting to be a little booger just like his BIG brother!!
Gonna run for now and as always thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. We need all that we can get. Have a great week and try and do something great for our Lord this week.
In HIS Care,
Andrea
